Homepage Dynamic Redirect

I'm looking for a simple piece of code (or a module) that would make the "homepage" link redirect me to the latest node in a given taxonomy list (ie: the latest published comic for a comic strip). I want it to be dynamic (so I can use it in tandom with the scheduler module, and have the site post strips automatically). It should just goto the most recent (based on timestamp, and published status) node in a specific taxonomy list with 2 terms (I have two types of strips, memorial in the event of someone passing, and standard, so it needs to go to the most recent of the two of them).

Help?

I've tried the Views module, and it works great... minus the fact that I have a few node-dependent blocks, and when a node isn't onscreen (and it's just a "view" of the latest post) they won't display content (ie: service links, and fivestar). Hence, I need to be on a specific node page for these to work.
